Story
The Lumos Quintet was formed in late 2014 in a university halls kitchen as five instrumentalists couldn't wait for their Music College term to start. They perform in classes and concerts at the Birmingham Conservatoire as well as playing at corporate events and weddings. The quintet are really passionate about outreach and educational work, passing on music to other people and seeing the benefits everyone can reap from it, whether playing in schools or hospitals. Today the quintet plays a variety of genres that allows each player to come out as a soloist. In 2016 they were finalists in the Sylvia Cleaver Chamber Music Prize.
The Quintet Consists of Georgina Silverton (Flute), Harriet Brown (Oboe), Benjamin Garalnick (French Horn), Hugh Woolley (Bassoon), and Jacob Perry (Clarinet). All members of the Quintet are students at the Birmingham Conservatoire, taught by world renowned teachers and attendees of masterclasses taken by some fantastic players. They have also had opportunities in orchestras such as playing Respighi's Pines of Rome as part of a pre-concert for the CBSO in Symphony Hall, performances at The Royal Albert Hall, and concert halls abroad.
The quintet have been invited to be the Outreach Ensemble for the 2018 Hot Springs Festival in Arkansas, which is a really exciting opportunity for them to share their love of music with others and pass on their knowledge. We have secured funding for once we are over there and have been kindly sponsored by the Harrod Fund to help pay for flights over there, but we are still £2000 short of our £4000 target.
Any help you could give us would be much appreciated as it will help us to fund our journey to America to share our love of music around the world.
Thank you in advance!
